Michelle Did It.

You know she did!  How in the world would Jay get into a car accident without her being responsible?

We were sightseeing in Fredericton, NB and Jay was in the turn lane.  "I think you need to go straight", said Michelle.  "I think I need to turn" said Jay.  "No, you need to go straight" said Michelle.

Jay went straight.

But to do so, he had to back up and get out of the turn lane.  But SURPRISE!!  There was a car behind him!

WHACK!  It was Michelle's fault!

Well, let us tell you that having a spare tire hanging on the rear of your Jeep is a good thing.  It really protects you from damage when you do dumb stuff.  It's too bad that the Ford behind us didn't have a spare tire on their hood.

After the police came and did a report, the policeman and the couple that Jay hit did what all good Canadians do.  They wished us a great vacation, and apologized for our inconvenience.

God, we love Canadians.

So on we slogged, and made it to the cottage by 6pm.  We called ahead and asked the fellow who just opened a storage lot in Liverpool (the town next to our cottage) if we could store our RV and truck there.  We explained how "big" we are.  We told him we would pull in and park it and then head to our cottage.

No problem, he said.  But how long will you be there?

About six weeks, we told him.

Well... he said.... That's nothing.  I won't charge you for that.

God, we love Canadians.

We protested and made him accept a payment for our storage.  It is close to our house and is wonderfully convenient.  We parked it and have had an easy transfer of goods into the house.

We are in the cottage (Notre Mer) and our batteries are CHARGING.  This is a very special place for us, and we are happy to be here.

So, in closing we will show you a short video of the view off our deck tonight.  The weather in these parts has been crappy, but it seems that we brought the good weather with us.  How can you not love this?

Now that we are settled, I will update the blog on Wednesdays and Sundays.  We hope you will check in on us!

C-ya!
